Where are you going to target them 45?

I was mostly fishing in NpH but I think this year I'm going to try DP more often
But most of the times I will be at NpH, marina del Rey, long beach in that area
And getting ready for the islander trip in May!
Thank you,

I personally don't fish any less than 4oz if targeting halibut. More commonly I'm using 6-8oz depending on the current, wind, and drift. I hear it over and over again, if your bait isn't on the bottom then your not targeting halibut. 1-2oz may not be enough.

Greg, do you use a Bounce ball setup, or something similar? I've used 2 different setups and like them both, but the Bounce ball variation seems to be more successful to me.
